SHARING Program

We care about our communities and want to ensure we keep you safe and warm this holiday season. We invite you to spread the holiday cheer through our SHARING program. Chesapeake Utilities Corporation created the SHARING fund with donations provided by customers, employees, and the community to ensure that the elderly, ill and those facing financial hardship are not forgotten during the cold winter months when energy bills are at their peak.

The SHARING program is run by a Board of Trustees who volunteer their time to ensure this mission is met. They also participate in community functions to raise funds while also making those in the community aware of the program and its benefits. The grant levels from the SHARING Program have been level or have increased since they were incorporated and now some needy customers can receive grants of almost $1,000 if needed.

The SHARING fund, also known as the Chesapeake Emergency Energy Recipient Program (CHEERP), was incorporated in 1983. Last year alone, over 400 grants totaling more than $100,000 were provided to those in need on Delmarva. For more information about SHARING and to make a donation visit: www.chesapeakesharing.com
